		Works "The Way" 1994 Computer animation, 2' 41" A camera chases three runners racing down a foggy road in a small German village. The street scenes and trees have been created through computer animation, while the three runners are clones of images compiled from a real person jogging on a running machine. In this work, perspective has been reversed, so that distant objects appear larger, and shrink in size as they get closer. This rule also applies to the three runners, so that the runner who appears largest is actually the one that is farthest away. Because this phenomenon is never experienced in real life, the human mind continuously tries to reverse this optical trick. As a result, the work achieves a remarkable impact and tension. The work also reminds the viewer of a bad dream in which no matter how far one runs, no destination is ever reached and the surroundings continue to vanish.
